Welcome to Writing Mastery, the online platform and community that helps fiction writers achieve all their goals!
We are seeking a highly motivated and organized Content Coordinator to join our team.
We are not just looking for a Virtual Assistant to just fill a job. We’re seeking someone who is looking for a full-time, salaried position for the long term, who can play a significant role in helping us grow our business.
As you review the description, we welcome any questions you may have about the position or our team.
**Position Overview**
You will be working with our team to create and update assets on our Kajabi website:
Blog Posts
Our content creation team will provide you with the text for a blog post, and you’ll load that text into a blog post on Kajabi and make it look great by styling the text, creating a featured image, and selecting relevant images from Canva (or other royalty free image sites). You’ll also review the post to make sure it looks good on desktop and mobile, and test all the links before sending it to the Content Manager for review.
Emails
Our blog posts also get added to email sequences, so you’ll use the text from the blog post to create a Kajabi email. We also send weekly email alerts announcing the new blog posts, which you’ll create. In addition, you’ll also create our monthly newsletter emails, webinar announcements, and other emails from templates provided. You’ll review all the emails to make sure they look great, and all links work.
Lectures for Online Courses
Every month we have at least one live webinar. You’ll take the details about the webinar from our content calendar and create a lecture in the Webinar product in Kajabi. We also produce 2-4 online courses a year. You’ll be responsible for building the sections and lectures for these courses based on the templates, files, and videos that we’ll provide.
Landing Pages
We have our home page and a landing page for all of our 12 courses, which we’re constantly updating with new ideas, layouts and testimonials to help them drive more sales. You’ll be responsible for making updates to these pages with the templates and examples that we’ll provide.
In summary, when you’re first starting out, you’ll be copying and pasting content we provide into Kajabi, adding images, and styling it to make it look good. Looking ahead, there’s lots of room for this role to grow once we get caught up on all the content.
**Skills you should have to be successful in this role:**
Strong English grammar
We teach writing, so the writing in our blog posts, emails, and web pages needs to be excellent (most of the content you’ll be posting will be provided to you, so you won’t need to do much writing, but knowing when something doesn’t look or sound quite right is important)
Web content skills
You should be familiar with Kajabi and/or similar tools like WordPress and email programs (like Mailchimp. Aweber, etc.) and be able to quickly and accurately build blog posts, landing pages, emails, forms, and automations from the content and direction provided
Basic design skills
You don’t need to be a graphic designer, but you should be able to use headings and paragraph styles to make the text in blog posts and emails look clean and easy to read. You should also feel comfortable using our existing templates in Canva to create graphics, and be able to search for and select appropriate photos in Canva to enhance the content
Attention to detail
A lot of thought and energy goes into everything we publish, and we try to honor that effort by making the content look amazing on the page, down to the smallest details
**Position Details**
This is a full-time, salaried position with flexible work hours. We’ll start with a 3-month probationary period, after which we’ll start reimbursing for benefits like SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG. You’ll also enjoy paid vacation, sick days, and regular holidays, plus an internet subsidy. And of course 13th month pay, and opportunities for raises based on your performance and as your responsibilities increase.
**About Writing Mastery**
Writing Mastery is a platform that helps fiction writers tell better stories. Founded by bestselling author Jessica Brody, we provide online writing courses, live webinars, instructor office hours, and more to help writers achieve all their goals. We are based in U.S. Pacific time, but our team is distributed across the U.S. and the Philippines.
**Writing Mastery Culture**
Our mission is to help writers tell better stories and achieve all their writing goals — our success is their success. Along these lines, we’ve found that four qualities are important to fitting in here:
Integrity
You are a good fit if you can be honest with your fellow team members. Open communication and honesty are paramount to myself and the team. We work hard and take pride in our work. We also know that life happens, and not all life is work, so if you aren’t able to hit a deadline, need to take some time off, or if you made a mistake, we expect you to be upfront about it and let us know (we are all human after all!).
Commitment
We’ve had freelancers working with us for as long as the company has been open (over 3 years)! We are looking for someone who is seeking a long term relationship, who his willing to grow and adapt with us. If your just looking for a few months of work, or you like working at multiple jobs at the same time, this is not for you.
Desire to Learn
We are a small team, but we get a lot done! We want people who are open to learning new skills and taking on new projects. If your not excited about improving your skills, taking on new projects, and learning new tools, this not for you.
Desire to Help Others
The whole reason that Writing Mastery exists is to help others (specifically our membership of fiction writers, and we also strive to help our fellow team members). We always try to create the best experience for our members, and go the extra mile to help them overcome their challenges, even if that means putting in some extra effort on our part. If you’re someone who wants to do the bare minimum just to get by, or someone who doesn’t care much about the person consuming the content we’re creating, this role is not for you.
If you feel like you’re a good fit for the skills and our culture, please reply with your resume and any work samples. I will personally read your application and answer any questions you may have (the more questions, the better!). In your response, please include the phrase “red herring” in the first line so I know you actually read the job description.
Thank you for your time!
